Relena Dorlain the Woman



Chapter six



The rest of the day Relena took it easy, there was no major meeting she had to attend it was an easy day for her. She decided that she would go home early. Relena got out of her chair and headed for the exit. She was walking down the hall and thought to herself 'This is you life Relena.'



She finally made it to the exit and saw no one outside. It was strange because this was about the time that Trowa would come out for his daily smoke. Even though many had urged him to quit he couldn't, Trowa told everyone it calmed his nerves. Relena walked out of the HQ.



She looked one more time at the building and started to walk home. Relena slowly walked towards her apartment it was a nice day so she thought that she would take her time. She was walking through a park and saw someone sitting on the grass. His legs crossed and eyes closed. It was the one and only Chang Wufei.



She didn't want to disturb him so she continued to walk slowly towards her home. "Relena Peacecraft…" Relena stopped walking and looked at Wufei, "Wufei." He gestured for her to come over to him, "I wanted to speak with you." Relena took a seat with a confused look on her face and asked him, "About what?"



"Why do you fight?" Relena didn't look at him, "Is that all? Why do you fight?" He looked at the clear blue sky and was silent for a moment. "I fight so that the weak don't have to. I fight to bring justice." Relena nodded at him. They remained silent for a moment. "Now Relena Peacecraft I ask you again, why do you fight?"



Relena laid her head back on the soft green grass. She looked up at the sky, "I fight so that you don't have to anymore." Wufei crossed his arms and nodded and closed his eyes. "That is a noble cause. But why fight a losing battle?" Relena looked at the sky and said, "I don't think of it as a losing battle. That's why I can win." Wufei looked straight ahead, "I understand." Wufei started to get up and say, "I had better get back that onna is lost with out my guidance." Relena closed her eyes and nodded, "More like you're lost without her." She whispered.

Wufei entered the HQ looking for Sally. "Wufei there you are. I was looking for you." Wufei recognized that voice as Quatre's. "What is it?" Quatre said, "I was wondering if you saw Relena. I wanted to tell her something." Wufei looked at the blond man and said, "I saw her at the park." Quatre nodded and thanked him. Wufei watched as Quatre ran off in the opposite direction.



"Wufei there you are I was looking for you." He turned around to see his onna. "Sally." She smiled warmly at him, "I wanted to ask if you have the stats about the Mars Terra Forming project done yet?" Wufei looked at her plainly, "Of course I have it done. It's on my desk, I'll give it to you but first I must tell you some things."



Sally walked with him towards the lounge area. "I had the chance to talk to Relena Peacecraft today." Sally looked at him waiting for him to continue, "I must admit she is quite impressive. She is very strong." She smiled at him, "I know what you mean. I talked to her when I picked her up from the spaceport. Even though she seems so relaxed I can sense a bit of loneliness in her. Maybe even sadness." Wufei nodded at her.

"Relena?"



Relena heard her name being called, she opened her eyes to see a young blond man looking over her, "Quatre what is it?" Quatre looked at her, "I was just wondering what you were doing here." Relena sat up with grass in her short hair, she brushed it off. "Nothing Quatre I was just relaxing I guess I dozed off." Quatre smiled slightly, he was now sitting next to her. "Relena I was looking for you today." Relena looked to at him, "Why?" Quatre said, "I wanted to tell you something. It's about Heero." Relena's expression didn't change.



"What about him?" Quatre was slightly surprised at her simple statement. He was expecting more of an interest regarding this topic. "I heard that he is coming back to work as a Preventer. Looks like he worked some things out and is ready to come back." Relena stood up and said, "That's nice to hear. Seeing an old acquaintance would be nice as well." She looked over her shoulder one more time at Quatre and said, "I'm going home now. I'll see you later." Relena walked on leaving a slightly stunned Quatre.



'She is so relaxed these days. I wonder what has sparked that change in her.' Quatre watched her walk away.

He noticed her sitting there. All his solider instincts told him to stay away. But this man was trying to rid himself of these instincts. He didn't need them anymore in times of peace. He looked at her again, she was sitting there sipping her tea reading her book.



She had done what he told her. The man was surprised and happy at the same time. He was surprised because knowing her she would never yield to anyone, and happy for her at the same time because she looked happy with the simple things in life. 'She did find happiness without me.' He let a small smile form on his face.



He continued to walk on, his solider instincts had won out. He would see her soon enough after all he was working in the same building with her from then on.
